THEATRE OF DREAMS

Jose Mourinho defends Manchester United's attacking style and is 'happy' with team despite league woes

Mour Is Less

Jose Mourinho may have 'lost the plot' and is failing to control Man Utd's 'new generation' of stars

“Because the best Manchester United of the season was the team that played the last four, five or six matches in the Premier League, and managed one victory and four or five draws. We are playing very, very well but we need more goals.”

And there are not enough goals being scored right now. They have the lowest goals record of the top seven. Zlatan Ibrahimovic still has a remarkable record at 35 having now hit seven in his last six games.

He has eight in the league in total but the next best is three from Juan Mata and Marcus Rashford.

Christian Eriksen will be one of the stars aiming to upset Manchester United tomorrow

“We are performing very well, the team has got a good balance. We have had some unlucky games, some games we made simple mistakes to concede a goal but most of our game is good. So if we can just get a couple of wins in a row it would give us even more confidence.”

Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored the opener at Zorya with a stunner and Ibra said: “The first goal was magnificent.

“He is a big quality player and he hopes he continues, which I know he will.”

Tomorrow they hope.

Progress in the Europa League and EFL Cup is one thing. But the Premier League is a whole different ball game right now.
